I hate to tell you but................THAT's not a USRA light Pacific in the photo!

Since Bachmann has done the Ma&Pa 4-4-0 & 4-6-0 I would like to see them do the Ma&Pa "heavy" 2-8-0's #41-42 as they ran in the 1940-50 period. Those are really nice, chunky looking Connies that would really fit in on a lot of smaller layouts too.


We could also use the Ma&Pa passenger/head end cars as no one makes a really nice open platform wood style car. The MDC/Athearn/Horizon cars aren't that great. Craftsman kits are the only way if you can find them.

My 2¢,
Roger

like Reading's 2-8-0 like they had in the past for standard only upgraded, perhaps even spectrum if we're lucky, i love the heavy READING connie look

micro mark sells the articulateds for $80-90 so that compared to what it used to be is like awesome, I'm actually going to save money to buy another one for another one of my bashes
